Troubleshooting for Missing Data on an NPR Report

3 things to check when you aren't getting data FROM where you see it on the screen TO where you want it to be, on your NPR report:

1) No data exists where you are looking: a) data not entered in the first place OR b) data entered, but not where you think it was/should be.

2) You don't have all the subscripts populated to access the data: a) your report isn't processing the right segment, so your subscripts aren't populated OR b) the data you are trying to access is a multiple and you don't have the necessary code in place to get down to where the data lives (this is really the same thing as reason 2.a).

3) You are looking in the wrong structure: a) you think MEDITECH stores the data in one place (SCH.PAT.cd.response) but it stores the data in another location (SCH.PAT.pacu.cd.response).

You will find these 3 things to be invaluable in your troubleshooting process.
